Welcome to the Infant Room!  We are delighted to be a part of your child’s education.

We follow the guidelines of the nationally recognized Creative Curriculum for Infants and Toddlers.  Please see the attached letter for more information regarding the curriculum in the Infant Room.

Parents need to provide the center with a daily schedule for your infant.  All bottles and jars of food need to be labeled with your child’s name and the date.  All leftover bottles and food needs to be taken home or discarded.  We will transition children from bottles and baby foods to sipper cups and table foods.  Please advise us when you are ready to make these transitions.

We will assist you in weaning your child from the pacifier.  Pacifiers can hinder language development.  We prefer to keep the pacifier in your child’s crib during the day and use it only as a comfort item during nap and other difficult times.  Please be sure it is clearly marked with your child’s initials. 

New parents often find the following information helpful:

o        Each child has a hanging file located near the door.  In it you will find billing statements, artwork, book order forms, parent letter, etc.  Please be sure to check this daily.

o        A daily report will be made available to your with information regarding your child’s meals, diaper changes, nap, and other activities.

o        Please keep a full extra set of clothing (spills and accidents do happen) under your child’s crib.  Please be sure to replace this outfit the next day.
